AbouttheERV/HRVVentilationSystem

The Honeywell TrueFRESH™ ERV/HRV Balanced Ventilation

System provides improved indoor air quality through its

high performance and efficiency.

CAUTION: Electrical shock and ﬁre hazard. Can cause personal and equipment damage.

• Before servicing or cleaning the system, always remove the power cord from the AC wall

outlet.

• Wear protective clothing and safety glasses when installing ventilator and working with

sheet metal.

• To reduce the hazards of electric shock or ﬁre, do not perform any service to the system

other than those stated in the operating manual instructions.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this ventilation system comes equipped with a

3-prong plug-in. This plug will ﬁt in a polarized outlet only one way.

• Do not use ventilation system for outdoor application.

• Do not pull or twist power cord when disconnecting it from the ventilation system. Grasp

the plug ﬁrmly, not the cord.

• Do not modify the power plug in any way; if modiﬁed, risk of electric shock, ﬁre, or even

damage to the unit may occur.

• Do not use the ventilation system for removal of ﬂammable fumes, gases or connect

directly to any appliances.

• Use a 120 VAC outlet only.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Do not obstruct or cover the air intake or air outlet of the ventilation system.

• Do not modify, repair or disassemble this system. These tasks are to be performed by

authorized serviced personnel only. Fire, electrical shock and/or bodily injury may occur

if these warnings are not followed.

• To prevent injuries, do not operate the ventilation system, while servicing or maintaining.

There are impeller wheels turning at a very high speed that must fully stop rotating prior

to accessing the inside of the unit.

• Always assess how the operation of the ventilation system may interact with vented

combustion equipment (i.e. Gas Furnace, Oil Furnace, Combustion, Appliances, etc.)

• Ensure unit is properly installed and suspended to prevent falling or dropping injuries.

Make sure when using this application that your fresh air duct connection to the forced air system return

air duct is at least 3 feet from the forced air system. You should check with your local code or the forced

air system’s manufacturer.

Hanging the ERV/HRV

1. Attachstrapstojoistusingthesupplied

washers and four 1 in. hex-head hanging

screws.

TheERV/HRVunitenablesyoutosavetimeandeffortbyofferingasimplifiedhangingsystem.

NOTE: If the unit is not level, improper drainage will occur and could lead to moisture and leakage

problems.

2. Pull on middle of strap while gently lifting unit

upward to raise the unit.

3. MakenaladjustmentstoensurethattheHRV/ERVislevel.

TIP: Removing the core unit makes installation easier since the unit weighs less

without the core inside.

Installing the flex duct to the ERV/HRV

TIP: Honeywellrecommendsusingapproximately16inchesofflexibleduct(suppliedinkit)betweenthe

unit and the rigid duct for noise dampening. The flex duct is mounted to the unit the same way as the

insulated flex.

1. Insert the vinyl duct over the hooks on the

duct collar and seal with a supplied 30 inch

tie wrap.

2. Insert insulation inside the outer ring of the duct

collar.

3. Finishbytapingtheductonthecollar. 4. Slide collar onto unit.

TIP: Attach the flex duct to the collar first, and then

attach the collar to the unit.

5. Secure collar with the supplied 5/8 in.

hex-head screws.

IMPORTANT: Always fix and secure each collar using

four of the 5/8 in. screws supplied.

This step is critical in order to prevent

condensation accumulation.

Connecting the power cord

ERV/HRV Power Cord

Insert the power cord on top of the unit. Press firmly

to make sure the power cord is secure.

IMPORTANT: Do not plug the power cord into the

wall receptacle at this time.

Electric Wall Outlet

Honeywell recommends that the unit has a dedicated receptacle

with 120 VAC.

Avoid connecting the unit to the wall receptacle with an

extension cord.

Honeywell does not recommend the use of an extension cord.

Ensurethatthereceptacle’spolarizationiscorrect.

NOTE: IftheLEDlightontheERV/HRVcontrolpanelremainsgreen,themotorsdonotenergize,and
